action of Said Spring and permitting' Said train to move only proportionally to the rotation of Said body.

2. In a meter, the Combination o i :1. body rotated by the tiow to be measnreifi, a registering'- train for recording' the n nmber ot' revolutions oi Said body, and a spring' forsupplying` driving' power to Said registeri11g-train, l@aid rotating' body having' a worm with which a gear oi: said registering-train engages, Ieaid gear being kept in continuons engagement with said worm by the action of said spring'.

3. Ina meter, the combination ol a body rotated by the How to be measured, a registering-train for recording' the number ol revoin tions Of Said body, a Spring' for supplying' driving power to Said registerilig-train, `Said train engaging' Said rotating' body and Aeaid spring' being' thereby continuously restrained and means Jfor rewinding` said spring' independently ot' the rotation of l@aid body.

L ln a meter, the eomli ination of a body rotated by the energy to be measured, a register ing-train rotated by power'from another Source than Said rotating' body but Controlled thereby, a movable bearing Vfor the Shaft of `Said rotating body and means for continuously mm'ing' Ieaid bearing', Said means beingl aetnated by power Supplied from said external Source.

5. ln a meter, the combination of a body rotated by the energy to be measnri-id, a registering-train geared to Said body but rotated by power Suppl ied 'from a Spring' connected to Said train, said rotating body acting; to eontroi the movement of Said registering-train, a movable bearing tor the shaft ot' said body and moans for continuously moving' said bearing' Said means being actuated by power snppiied by said Spring'.
